At the same time, the investigation is intended to examine whether the scale of production by itself stimulates technological activity and/or it acts as a proxy of other determinants of innovation.
The study is limited in the sense that the variables used to proxy for the determinants of life expectancy may not be exhaustive; other bio-medical and environmental variables may be highly correlated with life expectancy.
The results of this study do not necessarily imply recommendations for interventions to modify birth weight; birth weight is a proxy for many determinants, which have not yet fully been identified, and, moreover, birth weight is not easily modifiable [47].
This finding is difficult to explain, and we suspect that marriage may serve as a proxy for other determinants of SGA birth.
The spatial variation confirmed by this study leads us to believe that space as a multidimensional attribute may be acting as a proxy for other determinants and variables not collected in the initial survey and which may influence dental trauma prevalence.
The data illustrated here also include the proxies for the determinants of legal evolution I use in "Endogenous Legal Traditions" (Guerriero, 2016a) [12] and the novel measure of economic outcomes I employ in "Endogenous Legal Traditions and Economic Outcomes" (Guerriero, 2016b) [13].
These results show that genome size and/or its proxies are key determinants of the intensity of natural selection for operon organization.
Given the unique role of RNA as both a proxy and a determinant of the cellular and organism phenotype, profiling of RNA by RNA-Seq will spread beyond basic research, in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and other technical applications of biology.
The series of maps in Figs. 7 ("NTD-proxies" links) together proxies and Fig. 4 (relationship between determinants and their proxies) provide a considerable amount of information concerning the relationship between NTD, its possible determinants and the proxies in the Heshun county (China).
